POLICE are appealing for information after a man was stabbed outside a Glasgow kebab shop in the early hours of this morning.

The 22-year-old was with a friend when he was attacked by two men near to Bistro in Renfield Street at around 2.30am.

He was punched on the head and body and stabbed during the assault, which police believe to be 'totally unprovoked'.

The victim was taken to the city's Royal Infirmary, where he was treated for his injuries and later released. His friend was unhurt.

Strathclyde Police said the attackers, who are both described as being white, in their early 20s and about 5ft 10ins, were last seen on West George Street.

The first suspect, who has a stocky build, was wearing a grey hooded tracksuit and green trainers.

The second man had short, black hair and a round face, and wore a black tracksuit and a white top with black sleeves.

Detective Constable Paul Murray, from the city centre CID, said: "This would appear to a totally unprovoked attack on the 22-year-old man who had been in Glasgow city centre with a friend.

"I urge anyone who was in Renfield Street near to West George Street around 2.30am hours on Thursday August 16 and witnessed this attack to contact police immediately.

"I'd also like to speak to anyone who may recognise the descriptions of those responsible or who may have seen them hanging around the area prior to the attack taking place or even running off afterwards in West George Street."
